Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Set a dead hang start — full shoulder elevation and scapular depression before initiating.
- 2. Chest to the bar on a full pull-up; sternum to the anchor on a ring row.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 4. Breathing: inhale at the dead hang, exhale as you drive elbows to hips.
Regression:
Perform a bodyweight inverted row at a low bar to build the pulling pattern with reduced load.
Progression:
Add a 3-second eccentric on the way down. Progress to weighted pull-ups with a belt.
Common Problems:
Bicep dominance over lats — cue elbows to hips and experiment with a wider grip.
